Better here than Privet Drive

1. What do you consider your current main fandom? (This can include hobbies and collecting. Anything you feel fannish about!)

My three favourites of all time are Lost, Dark and From, so I'd say these are my main fandoms right now. Also School Spirits, Fringe, Yellowjackets, The Way Home, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Hunger Games


2. What was your first fandom?

While I first became aware of the concept of fandom through my now-ex boyfriend from university having some friends who were active in Harry Potter, the first one I was truly active in was Lost.


3. Do you have any favorite headcanons or fan theories?

I have a lot of headcanons for Dark around the Nielsen family:

Right before Mads went missing, he and Ulrich had one of their typical spats which ended in Ulrich telling him to "get lost". It was something that would normally have blown over, but because Mads did disappear so soon after, Ulrich never entirely forgave himself. Since Regina knew about the incident, she also blamed Ulrich at first; while they never really became friends, they did come to an understanding over the matter.

The night before Katharina and Ulrich's wedding, Hannah decided to try and put a stop to the wedding and see if she could persuade Ulrich to leave Katharina for her. She got as far as turning up to his stag night, but got there just as Ulrich had left for fresh air, upset as it had just suddenly hit him that Mads wouldn't see him get married. Realising it wasn't the right time for that conversation, she didn't say anything in the moment and just let him talk. Ulrich ended the conversation by repeating a rumour that Michael intended to propose to Hannah, and Hannah realised he seemed happy about the possibility, that he felt nothing for her at that time.

What really prompted Michael to turn his back on his old life as Mikkel was not anything Ines ever did, but reading an article in the local paper about the death of "the lunatic on the ward". Realising his old life was now lost to him, he threw himself into the new. The only time he ever let the mask slip was in response to a remark in school assembly that the Berlin Wall was unlikely to come down in the principal's lifetime, to which he had shouted "Bet you're wrong". Michael had a cover story that usually explained it away if the subject ever came up again.

And one for From:

Colony House was one of many just like it at one time, but the others were all destroyed. During the American Civil War, the incarnation of Jade that existed at the time was part of an attempt by his regiment to escape by burning the town to the ground (the idea being that they couldn't be trapped there if there was no town to be trapped in). However, some of the more sober members of the regiment stepped in, saving Colony House. Town as it is now stands on the site of the old houses.

One for Lost:

Jacob also met the deceased characters off island. At this time of night I can't be bothered to type it all out, but here's the story of that: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16228004


4. Have you ever created fanworks?

Dude, have you ever met me?


5. Are you still active in any old fandoms?

I'm still active in Lost and Fringe but will dabble in others. How are we defining an old fandom here - as in one I was active in ages ago? One that's been around for ages and canon finished for a while but was new-ish to me?
